Zusammenfassung:We present a system characterisation of a passive bistatic radar (PBR). The system under investigation exploits 'illuminators of opportunity', which in this case are commercial, non-cooperative, VHF FM broadcast transmissions. The paper demonstrates the detection of large passenger-jet aircraft over central London. The merits of FM broadcast transmissions are also analysed in a radar context. Furthermore, a system characterisation with performance predictions is presented. (5 pages)
